Maintenance Tips for Stone Cladding: Keeping Your Exterior Looking Pristine
Stone cladding is a durable and long-lasting material, but it does require some maintenance to keep it looking its best over time. We already pre-seal our stone cladding in the factory to prevent extreme weathering and protect the beautiful colours. Here are some essential tips for maintaining stone cladding on your home's exterior:
- Regular Cleaning: Remove dirt, grime, and debris from the surface of the stone cladding by gently washing it with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the stone.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the stone cladding for any cracks, chips, or discolouration. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the structural integrity of the cladding.
- Sealing the Stone: Depending on the type of stone used for cladding, consider applying a sealant to protect the surface from moisture, stains, and weathering. Consult with a professional to determine the appropriate sealant for your specific stone type.
- Preventative Maintenance: Trim vegetation near the stone cladding to prevent plant growth and moisture buildup, which can lead to mould or mildew. Address any drainage issues that could impact the integrity of the cladding over time.
By following these maintenance tips and implementing a regular care routine, you can ensure that your stone cladding remains a beautiful and enduring feature of your home's exterior for years to come.
